You can right-click in the flow and choose one of the arrange options. "to grid" is the old way. The new way wouldn't work by snapping after releasing a node because if you're off by too much it wouldn't snap at all or snap to something else.

You can hold down alt while dragging a tool to temporarily disable snapping.

Thanks, I didn't know you could do that.I just tried it and the problem is that when you let it go, well, it doesn't snap.I can't believe I'm the only one bothered by this new snapping...maybe I'm to nitpicky and need to move on
